I volunteered at an elementary school this morning for my companies annual Comcast Cares Day. We painted the inside of their gym while others planted trees, painted portables (teal and orange!) and did some overall beautification. We were having a lot of fun just rolling on paint, but not thinking a lot of it, until a woman came in and started talking about how great the gym looked. After we had talked to her for a bit, we learned that she was the school's secretary and had attended the school herself, as had her father. She told us that the gym had been an awful brown color, that the paint was chipping and that she hadn't had any idea how they were going to paint it before the school's upcoming Promotion Ceremony. Getting a little paint on my hands was completely worth all of that.
(Also, no idea why my shirt looks like it's glowing. It came out of the camera like that and when I had to brighten the picture it made it even more phosphorescent.)
